bellenden road

Just moved to this area .... what are peoples general thoughts??

Seems very friendly to me

[chantelle]

IMO the best place in the area to live. You've got a great local cafe - Petitou, nice new pubs - Victoria Inn and Montpelier, near Peckham Rye Station and Peckham Rye Park and can walk to Lordship Lane within 10 minutes.

We moved in a year ago and love it.

Welcome.

Hi both

My girlfriend and I moved to Bellenden Road a month or so ago. We really like East Dulwich, but our journey to work is from Peckham Rye so it's great to live so close to the station.

Completely agree with Chantelle about the local eateries. We also love the chocolate shop (The Melange - check it out for a thick steamy hot chocolate if you haven't done so yet), Ganapati and the Meat Wagon (which turns up from time to time at the nearby industrial estate of all places). For drinks, Bar Story and the pop-up place on top of the carpark (Franks, I think) are also good fun. Looking forward to the Warwick Gardens WingDing on Saturday week - maybe see you there ...

Yes it seems to have a good feel to it - and I agree about the good eateries!

South West Peckham's social event of the year.

Consider the graceful, riverine sweep of Bellenden Road as it flows from Danby to Chadwick.

Here on its sunny banks we find bakers, choclatiers, clothiers, launderers, automobile entertainment specialists, hairdressers and licensed victuallers.

Scuttling through the undergrowth are the night animals; prostitutes, addicts and the lost seeking the warmth of a darkened burrow as day breaks.

On the upper, western reaches of the Bellenden slumber the urban masses, tightly secured in loft-converted dwellings.

To the east, the street meanders with estuarine langour and reluctance into the great Peckham Delta.

But here, between Danby and Chadwick, that is all yet to come. And life seems possible.

careful not to get shot tho'

I get shot for varying degrees of disrespekt most weeks

panda- I moved in to the victoria inn when we opened almost 4 months ago & I have been overwhelmed with the area. I feel like i have lived here for years!

everyone is so friendly & there is a real community feeling around here & i can honestly say i couldn't imagine wanting to live anywhere else.

you have Ganapati on your doorstep which i think is one of the most incredible places you could ever eat.

have you been there yet?

& obviously you came here so i'm glad you approve of your new local. I missed you that evening though so please do pop in & say hi soon.

Stephen W- did you come to the Meatwagon here last night? now we have knocked down the wall for Yianni to work his magic I'm sure he will be visiting again very soon.

Hi Molly

We saw the Meat Wagon last night but unfortunately already had other plans. We'll definitely be there next time!
